Tours
&
Sightseeing
Visitors to Wollongong
have a wide variety of interesting and unique attractions
and tours to keep them entertained, ranging from passive
activities such as bush walking, exploring the parks and
gardens, beaches and lookouts through to the amazing
experience of touring Australia's Industry World at Port
Kembla.
The Illawarra Museum located in Market Square, provides
an entertaining and highly informative insight into the
earliest part of Wollongong’s history. Be prepared
to be transported back in time as you visit rooms filled
with artefacts from the past.
Within easy walking distance
of the museum is the Court House, the oldest surviving
commercial building in the region, and well worth a
look.
Self drive tours are plentiful - from the city a great
day trip is north along Lawrence Hargrave Drive where you
can explore the galleries, antique shops, cafes and
restaurants. You can make it a very relaxing half day
tour.
The famous Bald Hill Reserve has a spectacular view up
and down the coast and, if the hang gliders are in
action, they will leap off the cliff before your very
eyes. It was from Stanwell Park Beach below, where
Lawrence Hargrave discovered the principal of flight in
1894. This picturesque drive takes you through old
miners' villages precariously perched on the cliffs and
some of the most spectacular vistas Australia has to
offer . Experience a fresh fruit adventure with
Glenbernie Orchard Explorer Tours or take a picnic and
spend the day amongst Australian wildlife at Symbio
Wildlife Park.
Wollongong is well served with safe cycleways, and is a
favourite way to get around, especially for families. For
those who are looking for something just a little
different why not blast off on a Harley Davidson, or try
the novelty of a Scoot Car. Friends will be impressed as
you arrive in style in a stretch limo! Vintage car lovers
will appreciate a tour through the Illawarra Motoring
Museum at Kembla Grange. Now open 5 days per week the
museum boasts an enormous collection.
